Welcome to the forum! What year is your CR-V? Each generation is somewhat different. Sounds like you need you some yard cats. Also, I'd add a layer of window screen under the other wire, to keep out the mud daubers and other bugs. Nice job!
We had an incident at work where one of the trucks (a Freightliner) had a slight anti-freeze leak. One morning it wouldn't start, so we had to call the shop to send over a service truck. He came in and said the truck was seriously damaged and would have to be towed to the shop. What? We looked at the security cam footage and found the culprit from the night before. It was a possum! It destroyed the engine harness and some HVAC and coolant hoses. Took two weeks and $9,000 to fix it. Unbelievable! Only ever happened that one time. That possum was attracted to the smell of the anti-freeze.
